OG Burgers: “Eat Local!” proclaims the bold, purple graffiti tagged over the window of the OG Burgers food truck. OG stands for “original grass-fed,” as the company only uses Colorado cattle that chomps down on greens in the great outdoors.

Foundations: Owner Zack Hines started his foray into the food world by selling hummus and salsa at local farmer’s markets, back when he said there were “maybe four trucks in Denver.” Now, however, with 20-plus trucks gracing downtown Denver every Tuesday and Thursday for Civic Center Eats, there’s more drive to stand out from the crowd.

“The scene in Denver still has some room to catch up with other big cities, but you see a lot of trucks out today, a lot coming out now,” said Hines. “There’s still room for The Vegan Van and barbecue.”

Now Serving: In its second year, the truck rolls out top-notch beef, including organic veggie burgers. Burgers out of a truck make for easy finger food, but Hines said there is always the challenge of dealing with the unreliability of an engine — more can go wrong on a daily basis. He said he always focuses on getting the best meal possible to the customers.

Food Philosophy: As part of the growing fleet of Denver food trucks, OG Burgers is committed to a fresh, local cooking philosophy, according to Hines.

Popular Dish: The “Ricky Bobby,” loaded up with double cheddar cheese, bacon, onion, pickle and OG barbecue sauce for $8.50. Some of the more unorthodox ingredients also include peanut sauce and cream cheese. Customers can choose from one of the signature burgers or create their own.

“We want to be healthy but delicious,” he said. “There’s a mix. Denver likes to be healthy, but people always want greasy, good food too.”

Burgers run from $5.50 to $9.95, with extra ingredients at priced at 60 cents; fries are $2.
